How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Choose shrimp with transparent shells, straight bodies, and the head, legs, and tail still firmly attached to the body; these shrimp are fresh or just recently dead.
- Do not buy if you see the shrimp color turning cloudy, the shrimp is soft and mushy, has a foul smell, is leaking water, or if the head and legs are loose or turning black, as these shrimp are spoiled and not good.
How to choose fresh and delicious lychee
- Choose lychees that are pink-red in color, round, and have smooth spines.
- When buying, gently press the lychee; if it has a certain level of elasticity, it is fresh and delicious.
- Additionally, be sure to select bunches of lychee with stems still attached to the fruit and leaves that are still green.
- Avoid choosing lychees with many spines, those that are still green, or fruits that have fallen off the stem, or damaged lychees.
Where to buy lychee soda?
- You can buy lychee soda at beverage shops, refreshment shops, or large supermarkets as well as on reputable e-commerce websites.
- If you can’t find lychee soda, you can substitute it with canned lychee syrup or homemade lychee syrup.

Preparation and soaking of shrimp
Clean the shrimp, soak in diluted salt water for 2 – 3 minutes to remove the slime, then take them out and let them drain. After that, peel the shrimp, use a knife to cut along the back to remove the shrimp vein and place the shrimp in a bowl.
Quick way to remove shrimp vein:- The quickest way to remove the shrimp vein is to make a cut along the back of the shrimp and then use the sharp end of a toothpick to scoop out the vein.
- Alternatively, you can bend the shrimp head and gently squeeze from the tail to expose the vein, then hold the vein and pull gently to remove it.
To eliminate the shrimp odor and infuse the shrimp with the flavor of lychee, after cleaning the shrimp, soak them in 300ml of lychee soda for 1 hour.
